Disha Salian death case: Father files complaint of gang rape, murder; names Aaditya Thackeray, Aditya Pancholi, ex-CP

Satish Salian, father of Disha Salian, on Monday, filed a written complaint with the Mumbai Police Commissioner seeking the registration of an FIR against former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray and others of being involved in his daughter's death in 2020.

Satish Salian's advocate, Nilesh Ojha, said that the complaint had been accepted by the Joint Commissioner of Police. He alleged that Parambir Singh, former Mumbai Police Commissioner, played a key role in orchestrating the alleged cover-up.

Who are the main accused

Along with Aaditya Thackeray, Ojha named actors Dino Morea and Suraj Pancholi, and another officer Sachin Vaze in the complaint.

“Today, we have filed a written complaint to the CP office and the JCP Crime accepted it. Aaditya Thackeray, Dino Morea, Suraj Pancholi and his bodyguard, Parambir Singh, Sachin Vaze, and Rhea Chakraborty are all accused in this FIR. Parambir Singh was the main mastermind for the coverup in this case. He did a press conference and fabricated lies to save Aaditya Thackeray. All the details are in the FIR,” the Ojha told reporters.

Allegations against Aaditya Thackeray

Ojha also alleged that Aaditya Thackeray is linked with a "drug cartel", which he said is also mentioned in the complaint.

"Aaditya Thackeray is the main accused in this gang rape and murder case. Uddhav Thackeray misused his power for the coverup. Aaditya Thackeray linked to a drug cartel and this is in the official records of NCB. We have also mentioned this in the complaint. Today, we will also release some pictures in support of this," he added.

Earlier, Satish Salian had approached the Bombay High Court seeking a probe into his daughter's death and requesting the registration of an FIR against Aaditya Thackeray, among others.

Disha's link with Sushant Singh Rajput

Disha was found dead on June 8, 2020, days before actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging in his flat in suburban Bandra, Mumbai. She was his manager.

This development came on the heels of the CBI reportedly submitting a closure report on the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020.

According to sources, the closure has been filed in a Mumbai Court nearly five years after Sushant Singh's death.

Sushant, 34, was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020, which created a huge controversy, with the investigation later being handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation. His postmortem report stated the cause of death was asphyxia. The postmortem was conducted at Mumbai's Cooper Hospital.
